Collaborate Better on a Global Scale

Copy to Region

Skytap Cloud’s environments-first approach allows for entire environments to be copied from one Skytap Cloud region to another with a single command. The complexity of the environment, including the VMs, networks, applications, data, and connectivity to on-premises are replicated in the destination region with zero configuration drift. This approach:

Enables follow-the-sun development and testing

Prevents configuration drift between environments

Ensures the lowest latency possible

Decreases or eliminates the need to write and maintain infrastructure-as-code manifests and recipes

Sharing Portals

Skytap Cloud Sharing Portals enable environment owners to give revocable access to an environment or a subset of an environment with a simple URL, and provide:

One-click access using only HTML5 libraries

Multiple concurrent users on the same VM host and OS session using the Skytap Cloud over-the-shoulder view

Remote employee, consultant, and vendor use without having access to the corporate network

A mix of view-only, interactive guest OS access, and full control (including power state changes), from a single URL

Secure access using a password, single sign-on, or IP whitelisting

Configurable access for certain times of day, up until a given date and time or for a limited number of hours

Projects

A non-administrator user in Skytap Cloud only has access to the resources that he or she has created in addition to public templates and assets provided directly by Skytap Cloud. Role-based access controls for Projects provide flexibility in sharing resources by enabling:

Quick sharing of Skytap Cloud Templates, Environments, and Assets with other users or groups of users

Multiple roles with cascading permissions (viewer, participant, editor, manager, owner) that govern what a project member may do with each resource

Choice of Access

Skytap Cloud Environment owners can provide access to colleagues and partners using their preferred tools and methodologies by making use of:
